S1000D Transformation Toolkit Guide for Developers S1000D Transformation Toolkit Guide for Developers Tyler Shumaker Software Engineer 1 CTC Overview • 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 1987 • Staff of 1,400+ professionals • More than 50 locations • 900,000 sq. ft., including labs & demonstration space • Top 100 Government Contractor • Quality/EH&S Management System comprised of industry-best models: ISO 9001 (Quality) and 14001 (Environmental), AS9100 (Aerospace), and CMMI- SE/SW (Systems/Software Engineering) • Nationally recognized security capabilities with 300,000+ sq. ft. of Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility Space, JWICS, SIPRNet, and NIPRNet access 2 The Bridge Project • An OSD-funded project managed by the ADL Initiative. – Improves lifecycle management of technical training content. – Uses the S1000D technical data specification to manage learning content. • The Bridge Project enables enterprise training content management: – CONOPS: Sets parameters and operational scenarios for an S1000D development environment. – Bridge API: Connects learning content development tools to common source databases – AIM/SCO Workbench S1000D Support: Authoring tools write directly to S1000D. – S1000D Transformation Toolkit – Product Data Identification Service: Locates all S1000D based product support data linked to engineering change proposals. • Cost Benefits Analysis – 10% reduction in total ownership cost due to quicker data identification. 3 S1000D Transformation Toolkit • Problem Statement Driver – There is no interoperable publishing activity that supports the building of multiple delivery platforms from lifecycle-aware learning content formats. • Solution – S1000D Transformation Toolkit – The Toolkit is an open source design that specifically targets developers of technical learning content who have the following requirements: • Separation of source data from delivery formats • Manage lifecycle and configuration of technical training content; • Output source content to multiple outputs (e.g., SCORM and mobile devices) • Leverage and build upon open source technologies 4 Toolkit Overview • The Toolkit is a black box that consumes S1000D input files and graphics from a Common Source Database (CSDB) and produces a SCORM content package, mobile web application or PDF output 5 Toolkit Output SCORM PDF MOBILE 6 Development Strategy • Open source – SourceForge http://sourceforge.net/projects/s1000d-scorm/ • SVN (Subversion) • Written as a Java-based library (1.6.0_21) • Uses Apache Ant v 1.8.2 http://ant.apache.org/ • Uses Apache Commons Chain http://commons.apache.org/chain/ • Allows for expandability and allow for plug-in support for future desired formats • XML Style Sheet Translation (XSLT) files • Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) • jQuery Mobile Framework (Mobile Output) http://jquerymobile.com/ • Flying Saucer Project (PDF Output) http://code.google.com/p/flying-saucer/ • Eclipse Project - source includes the Eclipse .classpath and .project files 7 How Developers Will Use the Toolkit • Publishing SCORM from an S1000D Compliant Application (CSDB) • Importing S1000D Content into a Learning Management System • Independent Application Development 8 Apache Commons Chain Library • Ability to add new features to support specific needs • Apache Commons Chain Library which provides an API that facilitates the Chain of Responsibility design pattern s1000DToolkit1.0\conf\bridge\toolkit\chain-config.xml 9 Viewer Application • The Viewer Application is a browser-based rendering environment. – XML style sheet translation (XSLT) files along with other files necessary to provide content navigation and other features required for presentation of the content in a Web browser. – The viewer is required because the S1000D content is left in its original XML form. • The Viewer Application contains the files to do the SCORM API communication at runtime. • Assessments handled with Flash templates – (ViewerApplication\Assesment_templates) • Assessments handled with HTML XSLT files 10 Modifying the SCORM Output Images Key Graphic Name Graphic Description 1 toolkit_header_01.jpg Bridge Project Header 2 toolkit_header_02.jpg Header Background, stretches horizontally 3 toolkit_footer_01.jpg Footer, left 4 toolkit_footer_02.jpg Footer Background, stretches horizontally 5 toolkit_footer_03.jpg Footer, middle 6 toolkit_footer_04.jpg Back Button 7 toolkit_footer_05.jpg Next Button 8 toolkit_footer_06.jpg Footer Background s1000DToolkit1.0/ViewerApplication/app/images 11 Modifying the SCORM Output • Changing Interface Elements with Different Filename or Type – s1000DToolkit1.0\ViewerApplication\app\navPage.htm • Modifying the Course Style Sheet – s1000DToolkit1.0\ViewerApplication\app\common.css • Modifying Viewer Transformations – s1000DToolkit1.0\ViewerApplication\app\s1000d_4.xslt • Modifying Viewer Navigation – s1000DToolkit1.0\ViewerApplication\app\navScript.js – List.js created at by Toolkit contains the order of Data Module files 12 Modifying the Mobile Web Application Output • jQuery Mobile Framework v 1.0b3 • Performance Support Output (no assessments) – s1000DToolkit1.0\xsl\bridge\toolkit\commands\dmStylesheet.mobile.xsl – s1000DToolkit1.0\xsl\bridge\toolkit\commands\scpmStylesheet.mobile.xsl • Full Mobile Course Output (assessments handled with HTML/JavaScript) – s1000DToolkit1.0\xsl\bridge\toolkit\commands\dmStylesheetCourse.mobile.xsl – s1000DToolkit1.0\xsl\bridge\toolkit\commands\scpmStylesheetCourse.mobile.xsl • Viewer Application plus some mobile variation found in s1000DToolkit1.0\xsl • MobiApp – Mobile.css, mobileEvents.js, jquery-1.6.2.min.js plus the jQuery Mobile 1.0b3 files • Note: References to ICN files in the data modules that are Flash files (.swf) are included in the mobile web application output 13 Modifying the PDF Output • The PDF module uses the Flying Saucer project.

  • Amon Millner Phd Thesis Proposal
    Computer as Chalk: Children Designing Interactive Experiences by Programming Connections between Digital and Physical Media for Expressive Community Building Amon Millner Thesis Proposal for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Media Arts and Sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology 2009.08.18 Thesis Advisor Mitchel Resnick LEGO Papert Professor of Learning Research MIT Media Laboratory Thesis Reader Leah Buechley Assistant Professor MIT Media Laboratory Thesis Reader Melvin King Senior Lecturer Emeritus MIT Department of Urban Studies and Planning 1 Abstract This thesis explores how chalk can serve as a model for how people can harness the expressive power of computers. Chalk is well-known for being central to creative activities such as making sidewalk art or sketching personalized hopscotch grids. A goal of my work is to support children from a diversity of backgrounds to use computers for creatively expressing themselves, similarly to how they use chalk. I am motivated to do this work for reasons George Washington Carver explains: "new developments are the products of a creative mind, so we must therefore stimulate and encourage that type of mind in every way possible." At the core of this study is the Hook-ups System, a set of technologies and activities that I designed to enable young people to create interactive experiences by programming connections between physical and digital media. With the Hook-ups System, young people integrate sensors with a myriad of materials to create their own tangible interfaces. These interfaces control digital images and sounds based on computer programs the young people write to make projects such as games or responsive art pieces.

  • Analysing the Visual Complexity of Web Pages Using Document Structure
    Analysing the Visual Complexity of Web Pages Using Document Structure Simon Harper∗ Caroline Jay Eleni Michailidou Huangmao Quan Abstract The perception of the visual complexity of World Wide Web (Web) pages is a topic of significant interest. Previous work has examined the relationship between complexity and various aspects of presen- tation, including font styles, colours and images, but automatically quantifying this dimension of a Web page at the level of the document remains a challenge. In this paper we demonstrate that areas of high complexity can be identified by detecting areas, or `chunks', of a Web page high in block-level elements. We report a computational algorithm that captures this metric and places Web pages in a sequence that shows an 86% correlation with the sequences generated through user judgements of complexity. The work shows that structural aspects of a Web page influence how complex a user perceives it to be, and presents a straightforward means of determining complexity through examining the DOM. Keywords Visual Perception, Perceived Visual Complexity, Pragmatic Computational Technique, World Wide Web, Block-Level HTML. 1 Introduction Web page designers focus on good visual presentation to implicitly help users navigate, understand, and interact with the content. But current advances in Web page development (such as mash-ups1) encourage the concatenation of block-level elements dynamically drawn from other sites. Our previous work (see x 2.2) has lead us to theorise that this blocky visual chunking (Cascading Style Sheet{CSS, block-level2 structure) of Web pages is a major factor in determining perceived complexity (Yesilada et al., 2008).
